We are based for the podcast on 2014 5e but we use rulings and calls from every edition we have played through. As well as have many homebrew traditions and rules we bring to the table. There will be times when we make a call based on older rules simply because it may make more sense, while ignoring some mechanics altogether so the story is what tells the tale not the rules. We are heavy on lore and bring high fantasy to the mic with endearing journeys. Our main focus is the story and where it takes us and you! You will find us heavy on roleplay as well as battle. Some episodes are filled with stories and laughter while others are intense battle and D20 mischief.

As they race to awaken the powers of an ancient lantern forged in the flames of dragon fire to save the Northern lands of Valkadyr and the Kingdom of Wystere.
